Spencer Pocock
Spencer is a Portfolio Manager at Odlum Brown Limited. He provides discretionary portfolio management services to affluent individuals, small business owners and professionals. Spencer has over a decade of experience in the financial services industry, and is a strong proponent of Odlum Brown’s value-based and contrarian investment style. He works with clients to build and manage portfolios, taking into account client-specific investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Spencer believes wealth is created by buying and holding securities of high-quality companies for the long term, and by protecting capital in volatile or falling markets. As buying a stock represents an ownership position in a business, he focuses on owning shares of high-quality companies with an emphasis towards strong management and balance sheets. Spencer pays particular attention to valuation, as stocks purchased at attractive prices provide a margin of safety and superior long-term return potential. He would rather own attractively valued businesses that might temporarily become less expensive, than risk overpaying for popular businesses that could permanently destroy capital in the long term.
Spencer is also a proponent of owning individual investment grade bonds and GICs to protect capital in client portfolios. He buys individual securities with laddering maturity dates rather than investing in bond mutual funds to ensure investor principal is returned at maturity.
He graduated from the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria where he studied corporate finance and personal taxation. He obtained the Registered Retirement Consultant designation from the Canadian Institute of Financial Planning in 2012, the Chartered Investment Manager designation from the Canadian Securities Institute in 2013 and the Portfolio Manager designation in 2016. In 2018, he obtained the Responsible Investment Advisor Certification designation, which is focused on the integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in the selection and management of investments.

Stephen Whipp
Feeling shut down when you ask your advisor about the environmental record of companies you invest in? Been told you can’t make money investing responsibly? Uncomfortable about your hard-earned money being used to undermine the things you hold most dear?
We can help.
Responsible investing is not a sideline for Stephen Whipp Financial – it’s the only way we do business. We were early adopters and remain one of the few retail advisor teams in Canada to offer this level of dedicated knowledge and expertise.
We weigh more than short-term financial performance when assessing potential investments. We look for liabilities such as human rights violations, unethical governance or unsustainable environmental practices. These are risks to be factored into investment choices, along with the financials of a company. We look for strengths in the same areas, as we see them as indicators of a company’s long-term viability and sustainability. It’s a disciplined strategy that’s about managing your money without compromising your values.
This is activist investing with a long view. To preserve and protect the things most important to you. Not undermine them. Connecting the dots between what your money is doing and what you value for yourself, your family, the broader community and the planet.
Derrick Ng
Derrick Ng is an Investment Advisor with The Keith Pavo Group of RBC Dominion Securities and has served his community of Saskatoon and the surrounding area since 2008. Derrick, along with Keith Pavo and The Keith Pavo Group provide comprehensive wealth management advice and solutions to Institutional and Individual clients.
As the investment landscape continues to evolve, the need to recognize Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues as a significant factor for consideration has become increasingly more important. A changing ESG landscape along with greater transparency and dissemination of information require, at a minimum, an understanding of how client portfolios may be impacted and the role of the investment professional to educate and address these issues ahead of time. After all, ESG issues will affect client portfolios regardless of what their position is on the matter.
Derrick was born and raised in Saskatoon, SK and is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan. Outside of work, Derrick enjoys traveling and staying active. He is an alumni of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies soccer team and continues to stay involved in the local soccer community. Derrick lives in Saskatoon, SK with his wife and two young sons.
